I’ll say this about the UK. Y’all do pomp and circumstance really well. I mean, those outfits! The horses! The gold braid! The hats! I mean this as a compliment. And the organization! Sure, they knew this day was coming, but still… What choreography! God save the King.

The one thing I remember of the accession of the late Queen is the whole school ( I was 14) going to a public place to hear the Proclamation read out after it had been made in London.

Stuck with me much more than the pump and pageantry of the Coronation itself.

18 months later, at the age of 15, I swore an oath of allegiance to her as I joined her Armed Forces

Never met her of course. but I'd have taken the bullet.

The same proclamation was made today in every state and territory in Australia. The Governors and the Governor General read the proclamation to make the succession official. It would be the same for every country for which the Queen was the titular Head of State.

There was less dressing up involved.

Is it true Charles said Meghan wasn't welcome at the Queen's deathbed?

Is it true Charles said Meghan wasn't welcome at the Queen's deathbed?

Unlikely,. The king's views would be well known and he would not have to voice them for them to be acted upon.

I think this falls into the same category as Prince Philip arranging for Diana's death!

Is it true Charles said Meghan wasn't welcome at the Queen's deathbed?

Considering Meghan denounced the Royal Family and would "never go to the UK again," her words, it was appropriate that she stayed away. The Royals would have known how the Queen would have felt about that. I notice Meghan isn't so flamboyant in their company, at this time. God Save the King.
